Have been listening to Live 105 a lot recently. So far, I’m impressed. Their New Year’s special “Alternative Eras tour,” (a play on Taylor Swift’s tour but spanning various years in alternative music), was well curated and produced. Tight imaging and song selection. It spanned about a week and featured 30ish minute blocks of popular alternative and indie songs from one specific year (1990s-current). I definitely heard some songs that I haven’t heard on FM in years.
Cut to the chase, they were heavily promoting that they’re hiring on-air talent. Except, the catch is, they’re not looking for seasoned radio vets or even journalism/broadcast grads; they’re looking for literary anyone! It seems like a gimmick; they want listeners to submit a one minute video explaining why they should be the next genuine on-air drive for Live 105. If you visit the link on their website, they are legitimately hiring a full time personality through this promo. Seems like an interesting move from Audacy. I suppose, given recent success, they want to keep Live 105 as locally sounding/controlled as possible, but I’m wondering how others feels about this. Want to be a Live 105 DJ?
